What Art Supplies to Pack on an Overseas Plein Air Painting Trek


Contemporary Impressionist Painter  – Niki Gulley
Venice Art Trek 

People often ask me how I pack my paints and gear when we travel, so I thought you might like to see a sneak peek at that process. Today I started getting ready for the upcoming Art Trek, my husband, Scott Williams, and I are teaching in Venice. 

First step is preparing my canvas boards. I don’t like to s*tart on white, so I’ve painted a bunch of different colored acrylic backgrounds and I’ll choose whichever color seems best for the scene that day. Aren’t they fun? Like different color starburst candies! 

Next, these will go into my wet painting carrier which has slots in it to keep the wet paintings from touching.
